I spent countless hours playing Karateka, Lode Runner, Choplifter, Number Munchers, Raster Blaster, Lemonade Stand, and Oregon Trail. Born in 1982, I was lucky to have a father who collected Apple computers starting in ‘77.
I was particularly fond of the Apple IIc and the Power Mac. 🍎

I hated when you didn’t know to bow and run to the princess. You kill the bird and the king, and you go to the princess and she would kill you
@@maniacmasturbator2411 Far worse was "Kabul Spy", where the only command that gets you beyond the draw-bridge is saying "erase bridge". Super lame humor by the programmer, and you'd be permanently stuck without being able to advance in the game if you somehow didn't guess such a ridiculously inappropriate response. And it was a totally serious game, where other humor/puns had no presence, so there was no way to guess that a nonsense command would be warranted.
Wow my childhood just flashed back. Some games i forgot about. Aztec, California games, pirates, swashbuckler, all are pretty early ones i enjoyed.

I played so many of these games as a kid. Brings back good feelings.
Back when Apple actually cared about gaming on the desktop
Rescue Raiders! I had even forgotten the name! Great game.
The Apple II was pretty amazing for 1977, when it was released, but by 1982, the Commodore 64 had it beat in video and sound, and at half the cost.
Of course this was back in the days when computers were so different from each other that it was difficult to compare them, they couldn't even share software so they all had their own unique thing going on. And there were upgraded Apple II models in 1979, 1983, 1984, 1986, and 1988, as well as an upgraded Commodore 64 model called the Commodore 128 in 1985. And consoles always beat them all in gaming anyway.
@@handsomebrick Commodore Amiga beat consoles up there still the NEC TG-16, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES came out. Then in the early/mid 90s DOS/Windows PC took over and kept a firm leadership in gaming once dedicated 3D accelerators became widespread.
@@ravengaming4143 But console games were better made and sold better.
@@handsomebrick I don't really care for sales but computers had several great games that either didn't come over to consoles or were considerably worse on them (Defender of the Crown would be an example).
Commodore easily beat the II in gaming (except RPG games, where the 9 year load times on the 64 compared poorly to the much faster floppy disk system in the Apple II, graphics aside :) ). The Apple II had a lot more legs in other non-gaming areas though with eventual standard 80 column text and 7 expansion slots for who knows what. Both are awesome pieces of 8 bit computing history!
Picked really good games! Go Swashbuckler!
Choplifter and Lode Runner were my shit! Also fond memories Karateka and Bilestoad. I remember thinking Stellar 7 was so advanced with it's 3D 1st person view! LOVE THIS VIDEO. Thanks for the memories! Kinda missed Hard Hack Mack in this video.
Thanks!
Lode Runner had sooo many levels and u could make your own designs. I remember we made one with bricks that spelled out Van Halen!🤘
Rescue Raiders had fantastic gameplay, if you had a joystick, for Choplifter fans.
Still have my //e. With Mockingboard, 128k, and 2 drives- I dug it then and I still do now. Nice vid, great tunes.
I still have my Amiga 500.
Greatest collection of midi music ever!
sounds like c64 SID to me
1:18 Number Munchers and 1:20 The Oregon Trail. Love these the most.
Its a crime that no Sierra games are on here! I fondly remember Maniac Mansion and Battlechess, though...cool video!
I’ve wanted an apple iie since I was 5 years old. I finally took my chances on an untested base model in otherwise superficially good condition, and little cleaning got it working. Still waiting on a matching green phosphor monitor, and joystick, but meanwhile, I’m loading games to it, over Bluetooth from my phone. Can’t wait to get a floppy emu, and put a bunch of upgrades in it. though.
my fav: captain goodnight and gemstone warrior
Great memories!
To this day, The Bard's Tale, Might & Magic, and Ultima IV & V each have a huge influence in "Diamond Dragons" (series).
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Loved karateka! A few others not mentioned here that I loved, auto duel, Ali baba and the 40 thieves and the avatar series!
OMG so many classics :)
I love that you used Knight Rider and A-Team music for this!!
& dallas
I was born in 83 - there was a game we played on some form of computer back in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade - it was these little robots that all made different sounds and funny movements one space at a time. You would take turns to see who got to the end first. Sometimes you could step on a space that would skip you up a level and sometimes you'd have to go down a level. I have NEVER been able to find it again. Does anyone have any ideas?
I played Aztec for hours. Thanks for posting!!
You're welcome!
That game was a better Indiana Jones experience than the final 2 movies.
That music was awesome
The best is Karateka, Ultima IV, and Skyfox!!
I missed one of my favorite: Captain Goodnight and the Islands of Fear
Kings quest and Police Quest need to be in that list
Greatest midi soundtrack in the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking for a specific game. It is a game where you have to collect coins to put in a jukebox and there might also be pinball aswell.
Sounds like a game called Spare Change. . though i dont recall any pinball machine. Pay phone, popcorn machine and money machines. Great game!
@@hippitymcstribbs4906 omg thank you so much. I've been looking for that for so long.
I though i already said thanks but my comment may have gotten deleted so thank you. @@hippitymcstribbs4906
the music in the clip is by Edwin Van Santen/20CC from the C64!! , RIP Edwin
I thought it sounded like the SID, but thought, "nah not in an Apple II video." 😶
@@ericjohnson6634 you were right !!
Knight rider theme song 👍
Changes to the A- Team them half way through as well.
@@edstar83 and starts with the theme from Dallas.
Dallas
Nice list. I think "Night Flight" was the first game I ever played on the Apple ][. Apparently it's been forgotten because I can't find much info at all on the net about that old classic. It's still fun to play. I liked the background theme music.. Dallas, Knight Rider and The A-Team.
What's the first and last song? I recognized the second as Night Rider's theme, and the third as The A-Team.
dallas
😍 Choplifter
I remember a lot of these games!
Can any of you old school Apple gamers help me ID a game I played in elementary school (so this would have been very early 90s but the game could be slightly older)? It was a sort of choose your own adventure/ branching paths game that was text based but with illustrations since it was meant for younger kids, and some probably had basic animations too. It involved some evil purple wizard who sort of looked like Alan on the Smiling Friends (but purple and more pointy looking), and at some point you found a genie that could change the bad guy into a good guy and have him do good deeds (or you didn't and the game continued differently). Been trying to find this for ages!
If you figure it out let us know sounds fun
i remember 'pirates' was a favourite of mine back then, long ago now.
never understood why wings of fury was never ported or remade it was such a solid fkn game, it should of been ported to NES and it should have a current gen remake
Do you remember, there was a game in which a car (big dune buggy) ran across a road and had to go through bumps ? It was not a really fast car.
ahhhh Aztec. one of my favorites. had a cracked version, of course. also Raster Blaster and Star Blazer (conspicuously missing from this video).
Name of the 1st music used please? Nothing beats 8-bit music, best.
One thing that's not on the list, LEMONADE STAND!!!!, WTF?
Oh my, thanks for the memory. Now I remember that 1, the teacher would get us to play it in school to learn 'business' or more importantly - Money and adding and subtracting.
omg what i would give to play those again...
are you serious
you know
e m u l a t i o n
i think i like sundog and aztec the most, and yes battle chess look cool, chopper was awesome, so was conan, lode runner. dang prince of persia was here?
Wow. Wizardry 1: Proving grounds of the mad overlord
Anyone remember the name of the game where you flew across the screen in a jet and bombed targets to try to find the flag while avoiding being hit? Thanks!
Might be Star Blazer but i dont remember a flag so idk
OMG The game was called WINGS OF FURY!! Thanks! Now I know!. I loved that game when I was little. It was just to damn hard to land back on the carrier. :P
does anyone remember a game where you had to pilot a spaceship to Saturn? You had to type commands like 'look' for example. You started with a screwdriver and a can of spray paint. There was a console with numbers on it. In another room on the ship there was your boss who simply told you to get on with your mission to Saturn. There was also a window from which you could look out and see Saturn. I never did figure this game out before my comp died...anyone?
@@lunagalaxybrain351 I don't recall, sounds like it could have been. I never did figure that game out
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn_(video_game) ?
@@c3bhm thanks, but no this wasn't it
Videos good. Chiptune tv theme song even better
If Apple II was so important back in the day, why does it have such a small games library? ZX, C64, Amstrad have much bigger library.
Because it was marketed heavily to the schools which didn't care about games unless they had clear educational value. It also became associated with schools rather than business, productivity or gaming.
@@slickrcbd9543 its not any better in basic than c64. it doesn't beat the c64 anywhere..its clear apple had influence in usa, while commodore didn't. everything commodore did was much better
Mockingboard-Music ?
Great video!!
This really makes me miss wasteland.
Oh dude wasteland was the BEST! Angela Death! Who were some of the other guys?
I played these games as a nipper, but I have no idea where the games came from....they just.. were.
anyone know of a ping pong game with a burping opponent? its a super old memory i have, just trying to remember the name
There was a racing game that had a very impressive opening at the time. It was a soldier marching while playing the Washington Post March. Anybody know what the name of the game was?
Test Drive? Pitstop II? Technocop? Vette (that's a Mac game)?
@@applemctom It was an Apple II game, and a Formula racing game, if my memory still works fine...
@@cristianovianaserravilla7131 Speedway Classic. You're welcome!
What was that song? Really cool!
No Space Eggs?
Nobody remembers Three Mile Island!
Dallas / Nightrider. Rad. Did you sequence that s**t?
No, I didn't. I found it somewhere... forgot where though.
Music from 1:00
Knight Rider theme song
I played timezone.
the graphic is horrible
How old are you? They were pretty good for their time!
@@applemctom this is bad graphic if you saw it with objective mind
@@lufasumafalu5069 Not in 1978.
@@Sprogster it is bad graphic at any Age
I too beg to differ. Though one could say some are mediocre at best, and some like Stellar 7 i admit i always did think were just meh, not impressive, agreed; Atari had bad graphics friend. But to each his own opinion :)
50 Apple shit
No

Ok boomer
Two words that mean nothing. Except: I am too lazy to construct a good argument.
